Oglala Sioux Tribal Council passes a resolution in support of One Spirit and the One Spirit Programs

In a session on September 27th, 2011 the Tribal Council of the OST took an unusual step of formally recognizing and supporting a non-profit organization. The vote to support One Spirit and the One Spirit programs was unanimous.

The Tribal Council has been increasingly concerned about organizations and individuals who raise funds in the name of the Lakota people but have little or no accountability as to how the funds are spent or how much actually reaches the Reservation. We at ONE Spirit are honored to have the unanimous support of this governing body of the Lakota people. Below is the complete text of the resolution signed by the President of the Tribe, John Steele and the Secretary, Rhonda Two Eagle.
